The shapes of red blood cells in capillary blood vessels are reinterpreted from observations of human red cells. The parachute or umbrella shape often observed is not an axisymmetric shape as formerly assumed, but is the basic biconcave disk shape of the red cell with the upstream end flattened by the pressure gradient.
根据对人类红细胞的观察结果，对毛细血管中红细胞的形状进行了重新诠释。经常观察到的降落伞或伞状并非如先前假设的那样是轴对称形状，而是红细胞的基本双凹圆盘形状，其上游端因压力梯度而变平。
